Many times we create a piece of art for cards and then we use a PLAIN envelope, I’m so sure most of you agree with me, right girls??  :) –but no worries … you are not the only ones!! … So, Maggie, our team leader at CuttleBug Challenge,  asked us to take the envelope to an art form.     What do you think about this?

To create my envelop-pocket and tag I used THIS Accucut die cut.  My envelope is using “Just My Type” embossing folders.

Inspired to create? Looking for more inspiration? … Then, head on over to Cuttlebug Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the DT has to share with you.

Happy creating and be sweet!!

I would like to thank to all of you who played along with last week’s Wall Hanging project challenge.   And welcome to another CuttleBug Challenge!   This week we encourage you to create a card, a project, an altered item or whatever you have on mind using embossing powder to create a craking glass effect, faux metals etc.   This is what I created:

Following is a close-up picture so you can appreciate the technique and the details.

I used the Provo Craft CuttleBug Victoria embossing folders in my flowers.  THIS is the tutorial I followed to make my craking glass effect.

I hope you can join along with CuttleBug Be Inspired Challenge this week :)  For complete details, please visit us HERE and be sure to visit ALL the DT girls to see what they have created!

I’m sure you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day yesterday?  –And I hope you are ready for another fun challenge over on Squigglefly.   The theme for this Monday is animals … As soon as they mentioned that word, the cute image of Shy Bears, designed  by Lynne  Stansbery, came to my mind and I had no choice but to have her in my card for this week’s challenge.

Would you like to play along with us?   Would you like to have a chance to win some gorgeous images?  Just make a card or a project and include an animal somewhere on your creation!  –Please use a Squigglefly image to be eligible for the prize.   There are not excuses, they have free digi-images on their website, just click here to see some of them.

Well, it’s time for me to get going … still plenty of errands to run today.

Take care and thanks for visiting me today :)

I just want to take this opportunity to just say: “Happy Valentine’s Day” to all of you!

This is a thought I found on the internet about love and friendship … I wanted to share it with you:

“Some days are cold and dark. Some make us feel so alone.  Some days are hard to understand.  On those days God knew we’d need an extra hug or two.   So he gave us friends.   So that we would always have  an angel close when we needed one”

Enjoy the rest of your romantic weekend girlies!

It’s early … I couldn’t stayed in bed any longer,  hubby is still sleeping and so are my boys.   I just want to take this moment to say thanks to all the girls who always leave their comments here, even though I don’t visit you often I always look forward seeing your sweet treats :) –BIG thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Okay, into work now!! haha– Today is Wednesday and it’s CuttleBug Challenge time! Be Inspired #70 … oh I love Wednesdays! Have I told you that before? For today, our dear Maggie, the owner of Cuttlebug Challenge Blog, challenged us to create something using fabric (I love fabric), of course that’s beside using the embossing folders.  Here’s my creation:

This is a ring for a napkin.  I always wanted to try one and here’s the result and I love it!!  :) — I used “Just MyType” embossing folders set to make the center of the napkin ring.  The set comes with 5 different styles, all of them with fine design and ready to use for any occassion!

Want to join the fun? Then make something using fabric plus embossing folders and upload it here, very easy!  –Want to see more inspiration? Then click HERE to see what the rest of the team created for this challenge!

I really hope you’ve enjoyed your visit here today, take good care ladies!

As usual, I love small details, and these lovely pink buttons made it again … they were in a jar and kept telling me: “please pick me! please pick me” –what else could I have done?  :)

This could be a nice gift to our boys’ girlfriends at school, don’t you think so mommy’s out there?

I hope these photos inspire you in any way … See you

Next a colorful love-bag I made using more Bo-Bunny papers from their collection Back to Backs.  I just love this new bag-template, there are so many great gifts that can fit inside!  From tea to drink mixes, candy, candles, party favors.

And this is really me, always loving to pay attention to small details such as these…

And now the whole set …

I’ll be back  to show you more.  Have a wonderful day!

Caardvarks is having a new challenge and the sponsor is Scrapbook Trends CARDS Magazine,  the hottest monthly card-making print publication.  The magazine showcases a diverse collection of beautiful card art, wonderfully photographed.  Inspiration and creativity overflow from the pages!   — The challenge is to create our very best Wedding Card … and the winning entry will be published in Scrapbook Trends CARDS Magazine’s July 2010 issue.

I made this card last year for my dearest aunt, who was invited to a wedding and asked me to do my best wedding card ever :) … so this is what I created and she loved it!!

Here’s the inside of the card …

I hope you love it too!

Enjoy the rest of the day!!

Today is Wednesday and this mean is time for another CuttleBug Challenge! –I love these challenges so much because I always have fun when making all my stuff.  For this week the challenge is to use a mask and glimmer mist to create a cool texture or look, I am a newbie in the group and did not have any, but I took a look at this video-tutorial and created my own glimmer mist.   Here’s the first picture of my card:

This card is using Autumn Type embossing folder.  For the image I used my newest Hero Arts stamp called “Flower Frog” –I just bought it! :)

A funny thing :) –you see these big eyes that the frog has? and that are saying “My Eyes Adore You”?  Well, there’s this song that a  friend of mine used to sing on our way to school, we were kids by that time, the tittle of the song is “My eyes adored you” by Frankie Valli — we had to take the same road to school every single day.  I played this song on you tube while making my card.

I hope you will come and play along with us at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog! What an inspiring place to be!
